I like em too. eCC can KMA . So far I haven't found a '70-'72 eL Cam to put on my 4X4 chassis , but I have found a '69 to do it with. It'll work, but the '70 series looks better up in the air like that. IMHO .

Damn, I'm Jonesin bad over a body to do this with. I have 2 K5s to play with, but I want an Elky up in the arh .

back in the early 70's my brother bought enough pieces from 3 wrecked corvettes to put together a 57 body and dropped it on a buick powered jeep wagon chassis. I thought he should have restored it but this is America ... we used to have freedom to do our own thing. Restoration guys would get upset when they saw my steel t bucket. I found the 1915 body in 1951 and they were still crushing most old cars then.

A guy around here has a '72 chevy sprint (el camino) lifted, and powered by a 5.9l cummins diesel, with all the 3/4 ton dodge running gear (trans, axles, t-case, ect). Looks alright, and turns heads wherever it goes. They had to lengthen the front end 8" to fit the diesel in.

Or a white 55 Camino

Saw this a few years ago, when I was lucky enough to be in Charlotte @ Lowes Motor Speedway during the Auto Fair.

Well when no one is here to entertain me or everyone is ignoring my eccentric ways.

Over at el camino centeral they would put the 4x4 elco on the wall of shame. But I like them.

[QUOTE=timothale]I Know a guy in Alpine Utah that had 300 cars and about 100 pieces of farm equipment on 30 acres,,, the new million dollar homeowners complained and the city -county came down on him He bought a bunch of pigs and penned them all next to the big homes. the value of the property and the taxes got so high that he finally sold out. I got annexed into the nearest city limits and rezoned to light industrial....My property taxes increased $100 for each acre PER month. I had to build an 8 ft "sight obscuring" fence around the shop , we enclosed 1 acre and It cost me $5000 and a month's work by me and my son that is trying to build hot rod's in the 40 x 120 ft shop. If I leave a wheelbarrow outside the fence I can geta ticket. Last July I married a farm widow and moved to her Farm in Idaho close to yellowstone Park. far enough away to be free so far from the rich city people that are building their dream homes close to the park. Her house got annexed into the city limits and the restricted area is 100 ft from the highway...out back she has 3 trucks, tractor, and various pieces of farm equipment. Her grand father gave 3 acres of river front to the BLM and the fish and game built restrooms and a boat dock. now they want to TAKE AWAY ( NOT BUY ) another 15 acres and build a camp ground. THE GOVERNMENT just wants more of our property. taxes, telling us what to do and think while the crooks in washington continue to scamm us.

My neck is so red it glows in the dark.

I see why she is your EX.

So did you fill your place with old farm equipment just to get even? I know a guy that lives in a zoned county, the county made him get rid of his cars and he now has acres of old farm equipment of all sorts. Now the neighbors can't do a thing about his "eyesore" property. Maybe they should have kept their noses out of his business in the first place.

To be honest if I had a camino I'd seriously consider doing the same thing.
I'd be all over the trails in that thing.

Besides, those tires just make it look sexy.
